Money In Butterflies and Moths.

"Have butterflies or moths any CON-
mercial value2" asked New York Herald
reporter of distinguished entomologist.
'Indeed, they have. A man the other
day offered $50 for a rare butterfly. !
know some men in New York and
Brooklyn who make regular business of
selling and exchanging butterflies. A
man wrote to me from Switzerland yester-
day asking if I would exchange some
American moths for some European
butterflies. 1t is by such exchanges that
collectors manage to get such variety
of specimens.
"When does the season begin?"
GAS soon as winter goes, and it lasts
until winter begins. l have cocoons at
home now which will be out soon. When
I 90 after moths, I smear some smoothed
barked trees in the afternoon, and in the
evening find lots of moths sticking to
them. pin them all carefully in box
and take them home, and afterward
throw away those which l do not want.
There are very many varieties, and,
more curious still, there are moths in
New York and New Jersey which you
cannot find at all in Massachusetts.
Aye, and some variety of moths are found
in one section of state that do not appear
at all in another. This is probably the
main reason why it is almost impossible
to classify moths properly2"
"Does this hobby of yours cost you
muchl"
"Oh, no. The cabinets and boxes are
not expensive, and all l have to buy now
are pins. They certainly cost more than
they ought. 1 get 400 at time and
have to pay Go cents for them. They are
imported from Germany and are made in
five different sizes. That they are not
made here has long surprised me.
Another item of expense is books. There
are few good ones, but they cost good
deal of money. I fancy it is on account
of the engravings." "
"Who has the largest collection OF
butterflies in America2"
81 am not certain. A gentleman IN
Reading, Pa, am told, has over so, 600
specimens. I have collected several
thousand at various times, and hope to
collect several thousand more before l
die. have good many cocoons in the
house now-and that reminds me must
hurry off and have a look at them"

Botanic Gardens Of the World.

According to report of the Montreal
horticultural Society, there are 197
botanical gardens in the entire world,
and they are thus distributed: France
and her colonies, 25; England and Ire

Egypt, Greece. Guatemala, Japan, Peru
and Servia, each. The list may be
completed by mentioning the gardens of
Geneva and Lonvain, and few that have
recently been organized in English India.
At least half of the gardens mentioned
above arc kept by the Government,
eighteen per cent. by universities, some
times in conjunction with the general or
city government, eleven per cent. by
cities alone, and five per cent by private
donations. Out of the same number
ninety-four per cent. are always open to
the public, seventy per cent. are open to
visitors on Sunday only, and seventy
three per cent. publish reports, or con-
tribute in some such way to scientific
research.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Moral courage is the rarest of qualities,
and often maligned.
Life is too short to be spent in mind
ing other peoples business.
The seeds of our punishment are sown
at the time we commit the sin.
Faith steps in to our aid when our
boasted reason and knowledge fail.
The sympathy of sorrow is stronger
than the sympathy Of prosperity.
Life is a quarry ut of which We are to
mold and chisel and complete char.
acter.
Labor disgraces no man; unfortunate
ly you occasionally find men who disgrace
labor.
Lift thyself up, look around, and see
something higher and brighter than
earth. earth worms, and earthly dark
ness.
There cannot be more worthy i'm
provement of friendship than in the fer
vent opposition to the sins of those who
we profess to love.
All mankind are happier for having
been happy, so that, if you make them
happy now, you make them happy twenty
years hence by the memory of it.
The living get credit for what they
might be quite as much as for what they
are. Postcrity judges a man by the best
rather than the average of his attain
mcnt
Home is given for the sake of its in
mates. They have the ability to render
it q bcnediction. It's character depends
on each one striving to help the other
and be developed.
Learn from the earliest days to inure
your principles against the perils of ridi-
cule; you can no more exercise your rea-
son if you live in the constant dread Of
laughter, than you can enjoy your life
if you are in the constant terror Of
death

The Staked Plains Of Texas.

J. C. Rathbun writes to the Inter-
Ocean about the Stakcd Plains of Texas
in this strain: The generally accepted
theory of the origin of the name is that,
in the long ago, as company of Catho-
lie missionaries was crossing this plain
going to Santa Fe, the men stuck stakes
at long intervals by which they might
trace their way back. The Staked Plain
is gently undulating prairie, covered
with about twenty-five varieties of rich,
nutritious grasses. The grass has the
quality of ripening in fall and preserving
its nutriment, like hay, so that stock fat
ten on it during winter. In fact, stock
men do not ship their beeves till after the
cattle have fed for few weeks on the
cured grass. The soil is chocolate col
ored sandy loan, and very productive.
The prairie is covered with a scraggy
bush called mesquite, whose only utility
is the beans it produces, which make
excellent winter feed for stock. As in
Western Nebraska, Kansas. and Eastern
Colorado, the rains on the Staked Plain
and in the Panhandle of Texas are irreg-
ular, too much so to make it an exclu-
sively agricultural section. But stock
farming can be and is carried on success
fully. An inexaustible supply of water
is found at depth of from fifteen to
seventy-fve feet. At Midland it is at
about forty feet. The Texas and Pa
cifc Railway crossed the plains in 1881,
and there are now three growing towns
on the Staked -Marienfeld. started
in 1882, Midland in 1884, and Odessa in
1SS6-situated twenty miles apart. OF
these Midland is the largest, and has a
population of about 500, and is the ship.
ping point for the beef and wool inter
ests Of this extensive grazing area.

Weather Bureau Signals.

The cautionary signals of the weather
bureau are of two kinds: /. Those pre-
monishing dangerous winds to blow
from any direction, and (2.) Those pre-
monishing off-shore winds likely to drive
vessels out to sea. Both kinds are needed
and used on the shore of seas and lakes,
for the guidance of mariners. These
signals are only used when wind storm
of at least thirty-fve miles an hour is ap.
preaching. The first, known distinctive
iy as the ''cautiQnary signal" is q red
flag with black square in the center in
the day time and red light by night.
The second, or cautionary off-shore sig
nal, is flag with two stripes of black
and white, indicating direction of the
wind by its position with reference to the
cautionary signal always displayed with
it. and also by position of the stripes. That
is, the black stripe is above the white
when northerly winds are expected, and
below for southcrly winds, and the di-
rection signal is shown above the eau.
tionary signal when easterly winds arc
impending and below for westerly winds.
These are all day time signals; there arc
no night signals for wind direction,
though white light above red light
by night indicates that while the storm
has not yet passed the station, and dan
gerous winds may yet be felt there, they
will probably be from the north or west.
There is also an on shore wind signal
which is hoisted only on the lakes when
wind on the water of twenty to thirty
five miles an hour may be expected to
blow on shore, a wind dangerous to
small vessels, barges, and tows. This is
flag of four alternate squares of black
and white. In the night time this
is represented by a white light.-Inter-

The People crouched before his beck
His iron heel was on their neck;
His name shone bright through blood andpain
His sword flashed back their praise again.

His words were noble, good, and wise;
With the calm sceptre of his pen
He ruled the minds and thoughts Of men.
Some scohed, some praised; while many heard
Only few obeyed his word.

Love and sweet Pity were his law;

An Album OF United States C0nsuls.

DR.. St. Clair, the chief of the Consular
Bureau in the State Department, is max
ing a collection of photographs of the
Consuls of the United States. One of the
most conspicuous OF the many cards is
that of Mr.. Ben Folsom, Mrs. Cleveland's
cousin, who was recently appointed
Consul at Sheffield. England. MIR. Fol-
som was afixing his autograph to the
card in the white house one day when
the President. seeing what he was doing,
asked him what he intended to do with
it, and was informed that it was going to
take its place in an album of United
States Consuls.
The President pronounced the album
capital idea, and expressed desire to
see it as soon as completed. Since then
the President has inquired several times
how the album is progressing. He is
anxious to see the sort Of men represent
ing this country abroad. DR.. St. Clair's
collection is pretty nearly complete now,
and the order for an album viii be given

fourths full of almost white ashes, he
said:
"Thcse are the ashes of child about

were going out of the city, and had no
